Overview
This chapter gives an overview of the Device Manager agent and its system requirements. About the Device Manager Agent
 Reviewing the Host Requirements for the Device Manager Agent  Supported SAN Environments
About the Device Manager Agent
The Device Manager agent is a program that runs on a host (an application server) to collect host and storage subsystem information, and report that data to the Device Manager server. Following is the information that is primarily collected:
â¢
Host machine information (such as host names, IP addresses, HBA WWN, and iSCSI name)â¢
Information about LDEVs allocated to the host (such as LDEV number, storage subsystem, LUN, and LDEV type)â¢
Information about file systems allocated to the host (such as file system types, mount points, and usage)â¢
Copy pair information (such as pair types and statuses)Although Device Manager agents are not required for Device Manager
operations, they enable the following operations when they are installed on a host:
â¢
Device Manager management of the status storage usage for each Device Manager hostBy installing a Device Manager agent on each host, you can control how the volumes in the storage subsystems to be managed are used on each host. Also, if you specify the settings so that information about the hosts that are managed by the Device Manager server is periodically updated, you can use a management client to check the latest information.
â¢
Device Manager management of copy pairsBy linking with CCI, you will be able to use the Device Manager Web Client to centrally perform operations such as creating copy pairs, and changing configurations and statuses, which previously had to be performed for each server.
Note that the Device Manager agent is required when Provisioning Manager or Replication Manager is used. The Provisioning Manager server and Replication Manager communicate with the Provisioning Manager agent functionality and Replication Manager agent functionality within the Device Manager agent to perform operations, such as collecting necessary information or configuring host settings.
Note:
If you use the CIM/WBEM function of Device Manager, you can use the Device Manager agent to obtain performance information about Hitachi USP or
Universal Storage Platform V/VM. For details about the required settings for obtaining performance information, see the Hitachi Device Manager and
Reviewing the Host Requirements for the Device Manager
Agent
The following explains the system requirements for hosts on which the Device Manager agent is to be installed.
Caution:
⢠The name of each host on which the Device Manager agent runs must be unique within the notification destination Device Manager server.
⢠Device Manager agent version 6.0 can connect to Device Manager server version 6.0 or later. However, if the version of the Device Manager server is later than that of the Device Manager agent, the Device Manager functionality that can be used is limited to that of the Device Manager agent.
Supported Operating Systems
The prerequisite OS for the Device Manager agent depends on whether the agent is used in an IPv4 environment or IPv6 environment. Also, the Device Manager agent service might not start unless the patches required for the Device Manager agent prerequisite OS have been applied.

Precautions for Using Provisioning Manager
Keep the following in mind for use with Provisioning Manager:
â¢
Host configuration (creation, expansion, and deletion of file systems, and creation and deletion of device files) is supported for host OSs of the following language versions:For Windows 2000
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian (Portuguese Brazilian), Danish, and Swedish
For Windows Server 2003 (x86), or Windows Server 2003 R2 English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian (Portuguese Brazilian), and Swedish
For Windows Server 2003 (IPF), or Windows Server 2003 (x64) English and Japanese
For Windows Server 2008
English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese
Host configuration cannot be performed in the following two cases even if the OS is one of the above language versions:
â When the Multilingual User Interface Pack has been applied.
â When the language settings of the system have been changed.
Host, file system, and device file settings can be viewed from the server no matter what language version of Windows is on the agent host.
â¢
If the host OS is Windows 2000, you must install the diskpart.exe command line utility provided by Microsoft® in the following folder:system-folder\system32\
â¢
If the host OS is HP-UX, Provisioning Manager will not support environments containing or allowing mirror volumes.For HP-UX 11i v2 or earlier:
If MirrorDisk/UX is installed on the host, Provisioning Manager
functionality cannot be used to view host information and perform host settings.
For HP-UX 11i v3:
MirrorDisk/UX is installed on the host by OS default. In this case,
Provisioning Manager functionality can be used to view host information and perform host settings.
â¢
When the host OS is HP-UX, in the /etc/lvmconf directory, LVM creates a backup file for the configuration information about volume groups.Therefore, to create a volume group by using the host management functionality of Provisioning Manager, a maximum of 500 MB of free disk space (when 255 volume groups are created) is additionally required under /etc/lvmconf.
Applicable Java Programs
If the host OS is Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX, Java programs need to be installed on the host before the Device Manager agent is installed.
Note: If the host OS is Windows or Linux, JRE 5.0 is automatically
installed with the Device Manager agent.
The following table shows the prerequisite Java programs for Device Manager agents.
Table 1.8 Java Programs Required for Device Manager Agents
OS Architecture Java Programs
Solaris SPARC (32 and 64 bit) For IPv4 environment operation: JDK 1.4.2_xx (xx is 15 or later) JDK 5.0 (Update 11 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS For IPv6 environment operation:
JDK 5.0 (Update 11 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS AMD64 JDK 5.0 (Update 11 or later)
The JRE bundled with the OS
AIX 32 bit
64 bit
For IPv4 environment operation: JDK 1.4.2 (Update 8 or later) JDK 5.0 (Update 5 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS For IPv6 environment operation:
JDK 5.0 (Update 5 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS
OS Architecture Java Programs
HP-UX PA-RISC (32 and 64 bit)
IPF
For IPv4 environment operation: JDK 5.0 (Update 11 or later) JRE 5.0 (Update 11 or later) JDK 1.4.2_xx (xx is 17 or later) RTE 1.4.2_xx (xx is 17 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS For IPv6 environment operation:
JDK 5.0 (Update 11 or later) JRE 5.0 (Update 11 or later) The JRE bundled with the OS
Note: Use a package program instead of a self-expanding program. If both
version 1.4.2 and version 5.0 are installed, Device Manager agent uses the version 5.0 Java program.
The following commands can be used to check the version of the Java programs installed on the host.
Table 1.9 Checking the Version of the Java Programs
OS Java Programs Command
Solaris JDK 5.0 pkginfo -li SUNWj5rt
JDK 1.4.2 pkginfo -li SUNWj3rt
AIX JDK 5.0 (32 bit) lslpp -l Java5.sdk
JDK 5.0 (64 bit) lslpp -l Java5_64.sdk
JDK 1.4.2 (32 bit) lslpp -l Java14.sdk
JDK 1.4.2 (64 bit) lslpp -l Java14_64.sdk
HP-UX JDK 5.0 swlist Java15JDK
JRE 5.0 swlist Java15JRE
JDK 1.4.2 swlist T1456AA
Caution:
Before updating the Java programs (after installing the Device Manager agent), stop the Device Manager agent service. Also, when changing a Java program installation path, change the server.agent.JRE.location setting in the server.properties file.
For details about stopping and starting the Device Manager agent service, see Managing the Operating Status of the Device Manager Agent Service. For details about the server.properties file, see The server.properties File.
Supported File Systems
The following table lists the file systems supported by the Device Manager agent. However, depending on the combination of OS and file system, you might not be able to use Provisioning Manager to manage or use these.
Table 1.10 File Systems Supported by the Device Manager Agent
OS File System Description
Windows NTFS Standard OS file system.
If you use Provisioning Manager to manage this type of file system, you need to use a dynamic disk or basic disk for the volume manager.
However, if you use a basic disk, you cannot expand file systems by using Provisioning Manager. Also, if you use a dynamic disk, you can expand file systems only when they are mounted.
FAT Standard OS file system.
Provisioning Manager only allows the file system to be displayed.
FAT32 Standard OS file system.
Provisioning Manager only allows the file system to be displayed.
OS File System Description
Solaris UFS Standard OS file system.
Provisioning Manager does not allow the file system to be expanded.
Veritas File System One of the following versions needs to be used for management by Provisioning Manager:
 For Solaris 8:
VERITAS File System 3.5 VERITAS File System 4.0 Â For Solaris 9:
VERITAS File System 3.5 VERITAS File System 4.0 Veritas File System 5.0 Â For Solaris 10 (SPARC edition):
Veritas File System 5.0
 For Solaris 10 (x64 Edition (AMD64)): VERITAS File System 4.1
Use the same version of Veritas Volume Manager as the Veritas File System used on the volume manager. Note that file systems can only be expanded when mounted.
AIX JFS Standard OS file system.
Note that file systems can only be expanded when mounted.
Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ext2 ext3 Standard OS file system. Note that file systems can only be expanded when mounted. When the file system is expanded, it is temporarily unmounted. The file system cannot be extended online. When a file system is expanded, stop all jobs.
SUSE LINUX
Enterprise Server ext2 ext3 Standard OS file system. Provisioning Manager is not supported on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server.
OS File System Description
HP-UX Veritas File System
(JFS#)
The following versions need to be used for management by Provisioning Manager: Â For HP-UX 11i v1 (x64):
VERITAS File System 3.5.
Note: To enable VERITAS File System 3.5, install a version of Software Pack (Optional HP-UX 11i v1 Core Enhancements) that was released in or after December 2002.
 For versions released before the December 2005 version of HP-UX 11i v2:
VERITAS File System 3.5 (OS default) Â For the December 2005 and later versions of
HP-UX 11i v2:
VERITAS File System 4.1 (OS default) Â For HP-UX 11i v3:
VERITAS File System 4.1 (OS default)
Note that file systems can only be expanded when mounted.
HFS Standard OS file system.
Provisioning Manager only allows the file system to be displayed.
#: This includes HP OnlineJFS and HP JFS, which are recognized as Veritas File System on a host. A file system can be expanded in the online mode by using Provisioning Manager, if a Device Manager agent version 5.1.0 or later and HP OnlineJFS are installed on the host. When you install HP OnlineJFS, make sure you do the following:
â¢
Install a version of HP OnlineJFS that is the same as the version of Veritas File System.Provisioning Manager only supports an environment where the versions of Veritas File System and HP OnlineJFS are the same.
â¢
Enable HP OnlineJFS.If HP OnlineJFS is disabled, you cannot use Provisioning Manager to expand file systems.
If a Device Manager agent version earlier than 5.1.0 is installed on the host, or HP OnlineJFS is not installed on the host, the file system is unmounted during expansion, so it cannot be expanded in the online mode. When a file system is expanded, stop all jobs.
Supported Volume Managers
The following table lists volume managers supported by the Device Manager agent. Note that the table only lists OSs that support volume managers: The % Used metric is not reported by these volume managers on the HP-UX or AIX OS.

OS Version Architecture Volume Manager
Note: To use Provisioning Manager to perform operations on file systems or device files (creation, expansion, or deletion), you must install a volume manager on each host.
#1: File systems cannot be expanded by using Provisioning Manager.
#2: If the host OS is Solaris, you can use Provisioning Manager to display, create and delete file systems and device files, even without a volume manager. However Provisioning Manager cannot expand file systems created without using Veritas Volume Manager, and can only display file systems and device files that are created by using SDS or SVM. If a host is not the owner of a SDS/SVM diskset, information about the logical volumes and file systems related to that diskset is not displayed.
#3: Provisioning Manager can only display file systems and device files that are created by using Veritas Volume Manager.
#4: If LVM that supports L2 is installed on a host, Provisioning Manager always uses L2 to create file systems and device files.
Note: ï¼ Used Displays the volume usage (units: %). This item is updated
when the Device Manager agent sends the volume usage to the Device
Manager server. If the agent is not running on the host, this field is blank. The Device Manager agent may not be installed or may be installed but not
started.
If multiple paths are assigned to a single volume, information is displayed for the number of times LUN security is configured to the paths, in the List Objects - Open-Allocated subwindow.
Use the following formula to obtain the storage usage:
((used-capacity-of-the-file-system-built-on-the-target-storage) / (storage-capacity)) x 100 (%)
The usage cannot be calculated if the values required for calculation cannot be obtained correctly. In this case, -- appears.
The conditions that enable % used to be displayed are as follows: ⢠When Windows is the platform of the host using the storage:
â A drive letter is assigned to the LU. â The LU is mounted on a directory.
â The LU has multiple partitions and, among the disks in the LU, drive letters are assigned to all partitioned disks and that LU is mounted on a directory.
â The LU or all of the LU that has multiple partitions is not under a dynamic disk configuration and is not incorporated into a volume manager (VxVM).
⢠If the version of the Device Manager agent is earlier than 3.5, the displayed usage rate might be incorrect.
⢠When Solaris is the platform of the host using the storage:
â The target LU is not incorporated into a volume manager (VxVM, SVM, or SDS).
â The LU is mounted.
⢠When Linux is the platform of the host using the storage:
â The target LU is not incorporated into a volume manager (LVM, LVM2). â The LU has multiple partitions and no partitioned disk is incorporated
into a volume manager (LVM, LVM2).
â The LU or all of the LU that has multiple partitions is mounted.
⢠When HP-UX or AIX is the platform of the host using the storage, % used is not displayed.
Supported Path Management Software
Path management software is required when path redundancy is used between host ports and storage subsystem ports to increase system reliability and availability. Table 1.12 lists the path management software supported by the Device Manager agent. Note that the table only lists OSs that support path management software.

Supported Cluster Software
When cluster software is installed, hosts on which Device Manager agent is also installed can be clustered in an Active-Standby configuration or
Active-Active configuration. The Device Manager agent runs in cluster environments configured with the cluster software listed in the table below. Note that the table only lists OSs that support cluster software.
Note:
Because the Device Manager agent is not compatible with the logical host, the Device Manager agent cannot be registered in cluster resources. The Device Manager agent is activated on the physical hosts that make up the cluster, and collects the data for those hosts.
Cluster software cannot be set up from Provisioning Manager. When you use file systems and device files created by using Provisioning Manager as cluster resources, or when you use a host setting function of Provisioning Manager to operate file systems or device files, set up the cluster software manually.
For details about setting up the cluster software, see the manual for each cluster software product.

Supported SAN Environments
This section explains the system requirements for SAN environments that are supported by Device Manager agents.
Caution:
Before you connect the host with storage subsystems via FC-HUB (or
FC-SWITCH), confirm whether FC-HUB (or FC-SWITCH) and its firmware are available for the storage subsystem:
⢠Check the corresponding HBA model. See Supported Host Bus Adapter Model.
⢠Check the FC-HUB (and firmware) supported by the target storage subsystems. Refer to the appropriate documentation for your storage subsystem.
